So I’ve been MIA for awhile. I’ve been so busy as of lately I haven’t had time to do much of anything. 4 weeks ago I decided to join Weight Watchers and I have to say I am SOOOO incredibly happy that I did. I’ve lost (officially) 13 pounds in the past 4 weeks. What’s amazing to me is that I’m already noticing subtle changes. For example my engagement ring fits perfectly now. It’s actually almost too loose (almost). My bras don’t fit so tight around me anymore.
Most noticeably is the extra space in most of my pants. Who knew a little 13 pounds could make such a difference! Now I’ve got 100 more to go and I’ll be all set lol I like to think of it as 10 more installments of 10. That’s less intimidating. Right now I just take everything one day at a time. I don’t deny myself, I still eat what I want but its smaller portions and if I eat that piece of cake or scoop of ice cream, I make sure I adjust my day/week accordingly. Add that bit of extra exercise or eat a lighter lunch & dinner.
Weight Watchers has definitely made me pay a lot more attention to what I’m eating and how much I’m eating. I took some before pictures and will be taking pictures every 25 pounds lost to kind of keep track of my journey. My goal is to be down to 145 pounds in 1 year. I’m 5’9 so 145 pounds is on the thin side but I’d like to get pregnant once I’m down so I figure if I get down to 145 and gain 20-30 pounds when I’m pregnant then I’ll still be in a healthy weight range.
Goals, that’s what it’s really all about. Setting them, working towards them, meeting them and forgiving yourself when you just can’t do it and you don’t have a “lose” one week. Track it & forget it is the motto at our meetings. It is what it is and all you can do is learn from it and move forward.
So hello 13 pound lighter self, my you look lovely today!
